My last week there, I had a great girls' night dinner with some of the best ladies I've ever met! I have a hard time making friends sometimes (stupid shy), so this meant so much to me to have such a great group of women who were going to miss me and were sorry to see me go. I've moved several times over the years, and while it doesn't get easy, I do get a little used to it, but I'm always surprised when I do move, the number of people that care that I didn't really expect contrasted with the people I thought would care, but certainly didn't seem to. Regardless, it was a great week of catching up with friends and dinners out!
After about a week and a half, our stuff finally arrived! We kept all of the boxes in the garage, to try and make the rest of the house stay someone organized, and it's working so far. The tough part is trying to navigate the boxes in the garage when we're trying to find something "important". For the kids, that is TOYS! I've enjoyed watching them work together to find their things and get unpacked. I'm sure they wish we grown-ups would move a lot faster with this unpacking thing though!
If we moved any faster though, we couldn't spend all of our extra time in the pool! I never realized just how much I would love having a pool, and this is in October when it's starting to get cool even! I can't imagine how invaluable it will feel next summer when I'm cursing the Florida heat.

Other than unpacking, and poolside fun, we also took some time to Occupy Orlando. It was a great turnout, a gorgeous day, and an awesome civics lesson for the kids!
Finally, this past Saturday we went to Cocoa Beach. Dax and I were reminded a lot of our honeymoon in Ft. Lauderdale 15 years ago. That was the first time we decided that Florida was the place for us, and it looks like that is true! 
The kids enjoyed their first day at the beach too. They'd both been before in California and in New Hampshire, but neither really remembered it. They hated the salt water, and much prefer swimming in the pool, but they liked playing in the sand.

However, they complained for quite a long time after about all the sand they had in their hair. hmmmm....why would that be?
It was a lovely day at the beach though, and I'm enjoying our lovely new life. Change is good.
I'm glad you had a great final week in Albany! It looks like Linda had a fantastic party for you:) I'm glad you are all enjoying Orlando so much!
